The room is closing in, the walls begin to sway,
Every breath I take feels a million miles away.
Shadows creeping closer, whispers in my ear,
I'm fighting with the silence, but it only draws me near.
I try to find the words, but they're locked inside my throat,
Reaching for the surface, but I'm sinking like a stone.
I feel a tightness in my chest,
My body going numb.
Am I suffocating?
Will the darkness overrun?
I feel the weight that I can't lift,
The air that doesn't come.
Am I suffocating?
Or is the battle just begun?
A flicker of a light, it's dancing through the haze,
But every time I reach, it slips further from my gaze.
I'm tethered to the anchor of the storms I left behind,
A prisoner of memories I cannot seem to find.
I'm screaming in the silence, my hands against the glass,
The clock is counting down, but the seconds never pass.
I feel a tightness in my chest,
My body going numb.
Am I suffocating?
Will the darkness overrun?
I feel the weight that I can't lift,
The air that doesn't come.
Am I suffocating?
Or is the battle just begun?
I hear a distant echo, a voice I used to know,
It's calling from the shadows, saying I'm not alone.
If I could break the chains, if I could find the door,
Would I rise above the waves or be lost forevermore?
I feel a tightness in my chest,
My body going numb.
Am I suffocating?
Will the darkness overrun?
I feel the weight that I can't lift,
The air that doesn't come.
Am I suffocating?
Or is the battle just begun?
The room begins to steady, the walls start to align,
A spark ignites within me, it's the flicker of a sign.
I'm learning how to breathe, though the scars may never fade,
I'm suffocating, but I'll rise another day.
